'Extremely Disappointed' Hoyas May Turn That Frown Upside Down

However, after finishing the regular season with a 12-1 flourish, Georgetown lost two of its three postseason games, pounding NCAA first-round loser Cincinnati before falling flat in the Big East Tournament semifinals against a Syracuse team it had thumped twice during the previous three weeks and then never really being in the game against Florida Gulf Coast after halftime. Not only did the Hoyas miss 40 of 64 shots (20 of 27 from three-point range) on Friday, their vaunted defense disappeared as the Eagles scored 54 points in the second half, just two shy of Georgetown’s usual allowance per contest.
